Dinner: Sesame Chicken Skewers

Enjoying a variety of foods includes using a variety of preparation and cooking methods, as in this meal.

What makes this a good choice?

Potatoes are boiled and then baked, still offering a major source of energy, fibre and vitamins and minerals. Vegetables provide colour and texture to meals. Variety is essential for good nutrition. Skinless chicken is a source of good quality lean protein and contains water soluble B-vitamins, zinc and iron. Use salt and food high in salt sparingly. Add flavour by using herbs instead of too much salt or condiments high in salt, like soy sauce. Sesame oil and seeds are good sources of polyunsaturated fats and fat soluble vitamins. Sesame oil and seeds add flavour and taste and should be used sparingly.
